However, PatchMyPC is showing that 1.88.1 is out of date and is trying to install 1.88.2 – which doesn't exist.

The Patch My PC application is making requests over plain HTTP (Port 80).

Some of them are expected, for example TLS certificate revocation checking to http://ocsp.digicert.com/, which is normal.

However, some of them are requests to Patch My PC's own host over plain HTTP (Port 80).  While Cloudflare returns a "301 Moved Permanently" response and it gets upgraded to a HTTPS (Port 443) TLS 1.2 connection, is there a reason why Patch My PC does not request HTTPS in the first place?

Example requests over HTTP:

2) Open LibreOffice Writer and deliberately leave it open.

3) Open Patch My PC.

4) Go to Options.

5) Enable the setting "Auto Close Apps Before Update".

6) Close and reopen Patch My PC.

7) Click "Perform 1 Update" button to update LibreOffice to the latest version (LibreOffice 24.2 x64).

8) Patch My PC does not close the currently open LibreOffice process before updating it.
